Be it known that l, ERICK Mon, a citizen of the United States, residingat, Astoria. in the county of Eeuel and State of South Dakota, haveinvented a new and useful Washing Machine; of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to washing niaohines, and aims to provide novelmeans to be employed in connection with a washing machine whereina'rotating' member forms a part. of the construction thereof, whichrotary member being provided to insure against the articles beingwashed, bunching; in the center of the machine.

A further object of the invention is to provide adevice'of,thischaractcr which will assist'in the cleaning of thearticles by creating an additional suction within the body port-ion ofthe machine.

A stilliurther object of the invention is to provide a device which maybe readily and easily attached to washing machines now in use,eliminating the necessity of malting alterations in the construction ofthe machine to install the device.

liith the foregoing and other objectsin view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combinationarrangement of parts and in a .0 details of construction hereinafterdecribed and claimed, it being: understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may he made in the scopeof What claimed, Without ting from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view through a washing machinesupplied with a device constructed. in accordance with the inrention.

Figure is a longitudinal sectional viewthroiigh the rotating: member andcylindrical device forming the invention.

Figure 3 is a sectional view talienon line I) of Figure 2.

Figure l is sectional of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a bottom cylindric l member.

Referring to he drawings reference chara in "ion of a washing OWQJ. wallmerges into View taken on I V J: plan new ()1 etail, the a indicat l cbod porrnachine which has its s at which inclined a .ela'tiveiy straightwall 7.

HACK-KIN This relatively straight wall 7 provides a support for therotary member 8 which is mounted within the body portion 5 to operaterapidly. The device forming the essence of the invention is indicatedgenerally by the reference character 9 and includes a cylindrical-shopedbody comprising end members 10 that are held in spaced relation by meansof the vertical bars 11. These bars 11 hare beveled outer surfaces 12providing a rough surface to engage the articles under treatment toassist in removing foreign v matter therefrom.

As clearly shown by Figure 4 of the drawings, the alternate bars 11 areprovided with lateral cut out portions 13 extending longitudinallythereof, and defining spaces to allow fluid to pass tl rough thecylindrical member 9 creating a suction within the body shown asextending through the disks. 10, the lower end of the shaft 17 beingproi ided with a reduced portion 18 that fits in a suitable opening: inthe member 8. The upper end of the shaft 17 extends above thecylindrical member where it is reduced and fitted in an opening in thebar 19 that is secured within the body portion of the washing machine bymeans of bolts 20, as clear-1y shown by Figure 1 of the drawings.

From the foregoing it will be obviousthat, articles supported within thewashing" machine will be thrown laterally by the cylindrical bodyportion 9 to the end that, any possibility of the articles bunching atthe center of the body portion will be elimi nated.

It might be further stated that due to the construction of the bars 11,a roughened surface is provided for contactingwith the articles undertreatment to assist in the cleaning operation.
